OOPS, HE SUBBED FOR JIMMY pAGE, THEY USED TO WARM THEM UP.
Never cared much for across until I saw a video of one of his hits. Some of the clips in the video were from a concert where he was on stage wearing a vintage Houston Oilers #34 jersey — from the legendary Earl Campbell. I started to become a fan. LOL.

The Greatest Guitar Solo You Can’t HEAR!
Rick Beato
In this episode I rediscover the greatest guitar solo that is inaudible from this classic song.

I really liked ‘Sailin’ ‘ when it came out. Joni Mitchell is an interesting guitar mentor. I had a girlfriend in the 70s who studied Mitchell’s guitar style... she used atypical tunings to come up with all sort of unique effects... really opened my eyes to how ‘different’ Mitchell was.
I tried to like the guy but he double-dealt me over my purchase of his crucifix statue, while expressing great anger..
I call it the “Cross Chris Cross cross crisscross.”
The previous owner of SRV’s ‘Number One’ Stratocaster.
He declined an invitation to be Steely Dan’s main guitarist.
I used to hang out with Chris back in the day in Houston when he was in a band called Heather Black. They played in Houston downtown in old Market Square..
That was an interesting interview. Think I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Beato is great.
My favorite is “Think of Laura”. My daughter’s name was Laura, and it describes her perfectly. I cry every time I hear it.
Comedian Richard Jeni had a bit that went like this:
“So, I went to go see Christopher Cross the other day because…….somebody had to. And there we were. Me and Chris.”
On April 3, 2020, Cross... tested positive for... COVID-19... but was recovering. Cross later reported... that he had lost the use of his legs, but his doctors told him he should fully recover... his COVID-19 disease triggered an episode of Guillain–Barré syndrome that caused the nerves in his legs to stop functioning properly. By October 2020, he was able to walk with a cane, but said his memory and speech had been affected. In 2021 and 2022 he played his 40th anniversary concert tour, which had originally been planned for 2020.—Wikipedia
